Itinerary

Queenstown

Fly from the UK to Queenstown. Queenstown is the kind of place that will leave you breathless – in more ways than one. There are the high altitudes of the Southern Alps, mirror-like Lake Wakatipu, dreamy vine-laced countryside and the atmospheric town itself, where wood fires crackle and wine glasses toast the end of another remarkable day.
Enjoy your one-night stay in Queenstown.

Bluff

The most southernmost town in New Zealand, Bluff (or The Bluff as it is locally known) is perhaps the most European of all the settlements in the country. Called Campbelltown until 1917, the city was officially renamed after the 265 meter conical hill that towers above it. One of the farthest corners of the British Empire, the inaugural Royal Tour of New Zealand by Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, concluded at Bluff in January 1954. Nowadays however, it is the Bluff oysters that are the stars of the show. Reputed to be the best in the world, these local heroes are what have really put Bluff on the map and are celebrated every May with a lively festival honouring Ostrea chilensis (that’s Latin for Bluff oyster). But gastronomy aside (and it is mostly oyster related), Bluff offers the adventurous traveller much in the way activity. Gateway to Stewart Island, day trippers here might enjoy hopping on the ferry for the hour long trip to Stewart Island, or New Zealand’s third island. Unspoilt, tranquil and stunning, Stewart Island is a showcase for New Zealand’s undiscovered tourism spots due to its privileged (yet remote) position in the world. However, for those who wish to stay on the mainland, the Bluff Maritime Museum is a “must visit” for anyone travelling along the Southern Scenic Route, with fascinating historical information about the many early shipwrecks in these challenging southern waters and coastlines. The comprehensive network of walking tracks will delight the ornithologists amongst you – just don’t forget your binoculars!

14 December 2025

Summary

Bluff

Clinging to the very southern tip of the South Island, Bluff is one of New Zealand's oldest European settlements. It began life as a whaling station in the 1830s and has retained its strong ties to the sea, with one of the world’s few natural oyster beds sitting just offshore in the Foveaux Strait. Bluff is the gateway to Stewart Island and Antarctica beyond, offering travellers a taste of the rugged character of an oystering port.

Balleny Islands

This 160-kilometre-long chain of volcanic islands (some of them still active) straddles the Antarctic Circle. Here, you’ll have a front-row seat to one of the greatest convergences of wildlife in the world.

Humpbacks, fin and minke whales may put on a show while we are nearby, breaching, blowing, and slapping their tails. Crabeater, Weddell, Ross Sea Seals and leopard seals loll about, sunbaking between swims. Join a Discovery Excursion or just take in the view from the Observation Deck or your private verandah.

Discovery: Daily experiences may include cruising on Zodiacs, stepping ashore to view vast penguin rookeries or historic huts, and kayaking around icebergs. Wherever your voyage takes you, you will have countless “pinch me" moments.

19 December 2025

Summary

Balleny Islands

The chain is named after British mariner Captain Balleny, who reported seeing smoke billowing from its 1,340-metre summit when exploring the area in 1839. Almost completely mantled by ice, Young Island is the northernmost island in the archipelago. At the other end of the chain, Sturge is the southernmost island.

Pull out your binoculars from your suite or head for the telescopes in the Observation Lounge and take in the astonishing bird life, including enormous breeding colonies of southern fulmers and snow petrels. Gain deep insights from your expert Polar Discovery Team about the region and its rich birdlife.

Discovery: Partake in daily Scenic Discovery excursions. Cruise on the Zodiacs around ice formations, step onto islands to view vast penguin rookeries and seals. Kayak and stand-up paddleboard around icebergs and hear the ice cracking and whales feeding below.

Summary

Cruise East, Antarctica, Ross Sea

With jagged cliffs and ink-black escarpments backed by the towering Admiralty Mountains, the Adare Peninsula is a postcard of natural drama. Be greeted by the largest colony of Adélie penguins in Antarctica and listen to the cacophony of 250,000 breeding pairs as you draw close to shore.

This is where the Southern Ocean gives way to the Ross Sea. It was the site of the first documented landing on the continent in 1895 and Norwegian explorer Carsten Borchgrevink’s two 1899 huts remain on land. Explore the remains with your Polar Discovery Team, who will take you to shore in Zodiacs.

Discovery: Weather permitting, explore this fascinating environment by Zodiac, kayak and stand-up paddleboard, including possible shore landings.

21 December 2025

Cruise East, Antarctica, Ross Sea

Captain James Ross discovered and named Yule Bay, a curve in the coast of northern Victoria Land, in 1841. Like much of Antarctica, the immensity of the ice here can only be fully appreciated with some perspective – we recommend the Sky Bar for a grand vista.

In these rarely seen reaches of East Coast Antarctica, glaciers glitter like gems, ice lakes are scattered with star points of light and immense snow cliffs cast blue shadows, all under the gossamer sheen of a silvery light. This is a place of superlatives and the beauty will leave you speechless.

22 December 2025

Cruise East, Antarctica, Ross Sea

Today, get ready to explore as our experienced Polar Discovery Team plan your journey, picking the best spots based on the weather, ice, and wildlife sightings. Experience the grandeur of nature with the chance to see amazing wildlife, including penguins, whales, albatrosses, and seals.

23 December 2025

Cruise East, Antarctica, Ross Sea

If you’re a fan of geographical mysteries, you’ll be enthralled by the Terra Nova Islands. They were first spotted in the early 1900s, but when a German expedition set off to map the islands by helicopter in 1989, there was nothing there. Theories around these ‘phantom islands’ abound – were they fog banks, seaweed, icebergs?

What does exist is the Terra Nova Hut, Scott’s shelter from the elements on the volcanic shore of Cape Evans, and his base while he was trying for the Geographic South Pole. You may have a chance to explore this region today.

24 December 2025

Cruise East, Antarctica, Ross Sea

Today, you may reach the Mawson Peninsula, a narrow tongue of ice along the George V Coast. It’s easy to be humbled by its immensity, with the Peninsula’s vertiginous white cliffs glittering in the sun and casting unimaginable shadows over opaline swirls of the ocean surrounding it.

In between Scenic Discovery experiences, enjoy a specialty tea or coffee in the Observation Lounge and watch the world float by through Swarovski telescopes.

25 December 2025

Cruise East, Antarctica, Ross Sea

You might sail past a number of immense glaciers that carve through East Antarctica, making for incredible spectacles. It’s hard to comprehend the scale of the Mertz Glacier, an enormous hunk of crystalised ice more than 30km wide that gleams like a turquoise jewel. Sunlight cascades over its waves like liquid silver; in the troughs between are shadows of azure.

The 9km-wide Suvorov Glacier is similarly impressive, an endless bank of white unfurling into the distance. There are no trees or shrubs; flora is just a sprinkling of occasional lichen, moss and algae. This is what infinity looks like.

26 December 2025

Cruise East, Antarctica, Ross Sea

Australia has a rich Antarctic history and along Cape Denison at Commonwealth Bay you can see part of it frozen in time. The huts of the legendary explorer Sir Douglas Mawson, built from 1911-1914, are still standing here. A remarkable feat in the windiest place on the planet.

Weather permitting, you will have the opportunity to step back in time as you see the historic Mawson’s Huts, walking through and immediately feeling connected with the men of that incredible expedition. You may also see emperor penguins at nearby Dumont D’Urville station.

27 December 2025

Cruise East, Antarctica, Ross Sea

If the wind stays away, Commonwealth Bay is one of the few places along East Coast Antarctica where it’s possible to step ashore, giving you the chance to marvel at Mawson’s six fragile wooden huts and structures.

The explorer and his team spent two years here documenting the continent. This legacy – along with his 1929-1931 expedition – is the reason why Australia has a territorial claim to 42 per cent of Antarctica. The Main Hut is the best preserved of the structures and you may be able spot his team’s belongings left behind, including a cast-iron stove, bottles, jars and cans.

28 December 2025

Cruise East, Antarctica, Ross Sea

Largely ice free, Cape Denison’s peninsula emerges from beneath the continental ice sheet. The result is a series of dramatic rocky ridges and valleys, the sculptural sweep of snow and ice at times interrupted by sharp-toothed mountains like black cut-outs against a turquoise sky. In this fathomless expanse their scale is impossible to judge, with no points of reference to mark their soaring heights.

Cape Denison is a magnet for breeding wildlife. Weddell seals can often be seen with pups during the breeding season, while colonies of skuas, petrels and penguins fill the shores and the sky.

29 December 2025

Cruise East, Antarctica, Ross Sea

Your Polar Discovery Team are always on call to lead active excursions, whether kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding. Or today could be the day to brave the polar plunge. Pull on your swimsuit, throw off your robe and jump into the near-freezing Southern Ocean – a rite of passage for polar explorers.

Small and rocky, Ile du Gouverneur is part of Antarctica’s Géologie Archipelago. In between these islands and the continent is sea ice, an important breeding site for Emperor penguins. The fact that it’s close to a research station means that the creatures here are well documented – they also include Adélie penguins, Antarctic skuas, Wilson’s storm petrels, southern giant petrels, snow petrels and Cape petrels. You’ll likely also spot Weddell seals basking in the sun.

Macquarie Island, Tasmania

Macquarie Island is a place that sparks every sense. From a distance, the earth appears to be moving. As Scenic Eclipse II approaches you realise that the land is, in fact, heaving – under the weight of millions of penguins.

Subject to permits and conditions, you can experience this extraordinary landscape that hosts one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in the Southern Ocean. Countless tuxedoed, bushy eyebrowed and golden crowned penguins – king, rockhopper, gentoo and the endemic royal – breed here. You’re likely to see leopard seals patrolling the waters, southern elephant seals peeking from tussocked dunes, and sooty albatrosses circling overhead.
